Lot 1053
1890 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 67. One of the finest graded of this date according to PCGS, who note 9 this high, with none graded higher. Full blazing white frost on the devices and lettering, which combine with the decades old toning around the edges to create a resplendent picture. Mintages plunged to 590 in proof for the year, and this one is certainly one of the very best by any standards. Identifiable by a minor planchet flaw through the eagle's beak. This one has enough frost to possibly be a cameo.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
From the Benson collection and purchased from B. Max Mehl on April 2, 1945 for $10.00.
